Sometimes I wonder if Rufus has bizarre sexual fetishes like Germans often do and then I realize that he has no way of knowing because the kink overton window is so skewed in that area of the world.

I'm boring, Shos. To the very core of my being.

I'm sure migrants are importing all kinds of fetishes into Germany

I'm struggling to think of any, honestly. But then, I don't consume and Turkish, Russian, Greek or Italian media to have unwittingly absorbed knowledge of anything specific enough that would warrant a mention. You're making me wonder, though...

Wait, FF7 was supposed to be taken seriously as a political messaging game...

I 100% believe that his social media manager was even worse, but that doesn't change TB's actions or the fact that he used his considerable influence to support a hate group. the effects of those actions are still felt today in American politics and similar nerd "gate"s.

again, honestly asking: did he ever show any kind of sincere regret or give an apology for his actions? or did he just brush it off as you did with something like "oh i just care about ethics in games journalism"?

Yall motherfuckers never heard about not talking ill of the dead have you?

Disgusting folks some of you.

none of us did when he first died out of respect, but that was months ago now. you gotta bring it up sooner or later, especially if he's gonna keep getting awards like nothing happened.

The only way he's ever impacted my life has been negatively, but RIP anyway I guess.

I understand his family is experiencing pain and people want to be respectful of that, but how about we also respect the victims of the systematic harassment campaign he was a supporter of. Just because someone passes away doesn’t erase half their history. You have to consider their entire life.

"It's too early to discuss gun control"
"It's too early to discuss toxicity in the gaming community"

Cancer being as awful as it is does not preclude a discussion of Totalbiscuit's actions (anti-Romani rhetoric, transphobia, harassing several people, including one time where he told someone to get cancer and die, etc.) nor does it make it inappropriate for one to reflect on their legacy, what the results of their actions cause.  See also:  Cancer taking Rob Ford doesn't erase the damage he dealt to Toronto, Ontario and Canada in general nor does it make those that point out the consequences inappropriate for doing so.

Condolence to his family, in any case.

To reiterate:  Cancer sucks.

I'm not trying to cope. He helped radicalized a hate group that harassed women on line, and that someone of which eventually became neonazi's. Amongst other horrid shit's he's done. My sympathies run thin. All i'm doing here is saying, if other posters wish to say that maybe we all shouldn't forget that he was also a person who did bad shit, while also being talented in other regards, then there is value in that.

https://www.resetera.com/posts/8313379/

I mean Total Biscuit did leave a complicated legacy, there’s no denying that. Like it’s hard for me to mourn because he blocked me on Twitter for telling him to cool it with saying “it’s about ethics in games journalism” because it was vague and playing into the hands of a terrible movement.

You can mourn. But don’t get onto people who felt like he caused harm (I.e Gamergate victims). As long as they don’t disrespect the family of the deceased.

Also for the record I had two people who I knew die that who I thought were terrible people die in recent years. It’s hard to parse out the feelings for that sort of thing.

This is the funniest thread since the last time Era mods banned people for being mean to dead bigoted trash.

August 2014 is when Gamergate started. It's specifically a pro-gamergate message. Games Journalism is just an excuse for the right-wing harassment campaign that it actually was.

Plus it's the date Zoe Quinn started to get death threats.

    At least we have gaming. Cant imagine having games in communism.

Why wouldn't we? In a society based around Use-Value, do you really think that society as a whole would determine both that the concrete labors involved in game development were not worth putting to use, and that the unique use values of games were not worth realizing?

There is near zero utility value in making or playing videogames.
Time spent making them would be better served solving societal problems, and time spent playing them would be better served in self improvement, or societal improvement.

Videogames are inarguably not good for you, and arguably bad for you.

I think this is a misunderstanding of what Use-Value means under marxism. A socialist/communist society doesn't demand everything be productive, or good for you (that would be a repressive nightmare!) It (in the limited scope of this conversation) merely demands that labor be distributed based on what the products can be used for -- what unique properties a product has -- rather than distributed on what the product can be exchanged for, as in capitalist mode of production.

Distributed based on its unique properties.  Vidya.

The weirdest part is that they make total biscuit out to be one of the driving force behind gamergate and yet the worst I can find is that he said that gamergate didn't have a harassment problem. Stupid, but hardly piss on your grave worthy.

Probably because many of the most high profile victims are scumbags or are involved in drama that makes GG look that they had a point.

[Boredfrom]

honestly all of you people saying "capitalism is the reason we have X" don't seem to know what "capital" is.

What unique properties of capitalism are necessary for the creation of games?

How do you think people wrote books, songs, plays, painted paintings, and made toys before capitalism?

Hell, even in Marxist-Leninist and Maoist nations (which are hardly socialist/communist by most definitions, are very repressive, and are usually in a constant state of total-war style military buildup at the expense of all luxuries) manage to make a decent amount of that stuff.

 

Why the concept of “mass production” is eluding you, dude?

Not really because only Nintendo would be left in their perfect communist system.
